Collapsed in his kitchen

"You’re not going to believe this!" he wrote to his followers. "Was on my way to an appointment yesterday when I collapsed in my kitchen."

 

Flirting with death

"Six massive heart attacks later, and being brought back from dead 4 times I apparently had a 100% blockage in my LAD (Left Anterior Descending Artery)."

Survival options: 0%

Mark Sheppard also stated that his "chances of survival were virtually nil." It's remarkable and almost miraculous that he escaped death.

His wife saved him

The events occurred in the first weekend of December 2023 in the British actor's home in Los Angeles. His luck was that his wife, Sarah Louise Fudge, was there.
